I could not find this anywhere, I was just wondering, if i get the disk version of a Ubisoft game can I redeem it on steam, or are those only for Uplay?

 

Thanks

only redeemable on uplay IIRC, but you can still add it to your steam library by clicking "add a non-steam game"

Okay thanks, I was just wondering, because I would rather have steam track my play time etc...

Yeah, Ubisoft and Origin need to get out of Steam's way.  They're just making it more difficult to enjoy their games as a result of trying to copycat Steam.

I've tried doing this with my retail Crysis Maximum edition, ME1, and ME2. But Steam obviously didn't recognize the keys, at that time, Origin was non-existent, then it went out and now I've added those games to my Origin account.

 

To be honest, I'd rather have all of those on Steam. I mean, you bought the game on one platform, why can't you have it on all your accounts since it is yours to begin with. Its like they want you to pay multiple times for it.

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."

OP do the right thing and don't buy Ubisoft games unless you are buying them for next to nothing or buying their console games used.  Ubisoft does not deserve money from gamers anywhere right now.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

I completely agree. But I still want to play their games... :/

Yeah, my problem is I would rather have all the games on steam, which i can if i buy them there, but i also want the disk for faster install (my internet is crap) and i just like to have the physical copy. But the disk version only works on Uplay, so either way i wont like it. (Steam + No Disk) or (Uplay + Disk). In a perfect work i could have steam + disk.

Sadly there's no governing organization there that pushes standardization of digitally distributed games. Synchronizations of accounts if ever so you won't need to go through the net just to know how to make things work.

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.
